HISTORY OF THE FORTRESS Petrovaradin...
At the present place of the fortress, there used to be a medieval fortress built between 1247 and 1252, and before that one there were Celts, Romans, Huns, Avars. The Slavs and Avars settled the area in the VI and VII centuries. The new fortress was mentioned in written documents in 1347 for the first time as the residence of various commanders.
According to the latest evidence of the archaeological research, the traces of human life on the fortress date back from Palaeolithic period.
The Fortress was completed in 1780. Inaccessible for military equipment of that time, it occupied the dominant position in regard to the surroundings and became known as “The Gibraltar on the Danube”.

The Influence of the Ottoman Empire
During history, the fortress changed masters and appearance, thus in 1526 the Turks occupied it, under the leadership of Sulejman II the Magnificent. They built a pontoon in order to cross the river more easily. While in war with Austria, the Turks left the Fortress several times but also returned when it had a Lower and Upper Town. In the suburb, there was Suleiman-han mosque as well as Muslim quarters, but also one Christian quarter. The Turks ruled the medieval Petrovaradin Fortress for 161 continually, from 1526 to 1689.

The first jazz festival was held in the Cultural Centre of Novi Sad, from November 25 to November 27, 1999. It was quite modest, with a majority of jazz performers coming from the "third Yugoslavia", of which Novi Sad was a part, at the time.
